Make a new friend in Henrietta turtle (or skip the flower corsage and
make a Henry turtle). Henrietta will gladly house your pins &
needles or entertain your baby or pet — but not at the same time. She's funny that way.
You may have glimpsed my pokey new sewing buddy in my recent interview
on NBC. This sewing pattern is hot off the press and ready to ship. I'm
in love. Sitting by my sewing machine, Henrietta reminds me to take my
time and enjoy the process.
Fresh from Bingo night, come Edna, Matilda, Eloise, Harriet, Penelope and Gladys. "Shush, dearie. Did that nice young man call B-15?" Six different materials kits available here — pattern sold separately.
A herd of turtles. Or as my dad likes to say, "A terd of hurtles."
Now those gals are cute! Just want to pinch em’! I think it needs to be jumbo sized so I can cuddle with her! Aww.
the level of cuteness is INSANE!! 🙂
very very cute!!
Adorable and well presented. You’ve truly got the knack.
That’s my daughter’s name! Now I’ll have to make one. Henrietta doesn’t come up that often.
How fun! I love all of these old-fashioned names. Take Penelope, I’ve been wondering when that one would come back in fashion. Then I met a baby Penelope while in Utah last week — cutest little girl ever.
You’re right, Henrietta doesn’t come up that often.
My all-time favorite pin cushion yet! A friend just had a wee beauty and named her Harriet, it’s the perfect gift. Thanks for sharing. I should have you create a pattern for the horrible green catapiller my boys have be-friended and given a home too…it’s awful. I’ll share some pictures tomorrow…

Now I have to peruse your fabrics for something to make a kitchen ribbon board for notices, photos etc. Best!
In the top 3 of cutest turtles that I’ve seen!
You. Are. Amazing! I am so in awe of your work! Yay for you! 🙂
Those turtles are adorable, Heather! By the way, Harriet and Eloise are very common names around here. They are all lovely though. And the way you combine colours.. gorgeous and so much fun!
Bellissima!!!!!!

Just too darn cute Heather! I twittered about it!

Hello
I am french and and i love your create.
It’s magical
Good day
Quite Darling!
adorable!!!
I loves these! Very cute.
oh wow, those are so cute!!
“terd of hurtles” made me spit out my coffee! VERY adorable!
I had a little turtle growing up: a real one and a stuffed one. LOVE these cuties. I’m a wee bit partial to Edna because I had a neighbor Edna.
Oh those are adorable. I might feel sad sticking pins into her, and her and her and her and her. ~jen~
Gladys is my favorite!!!
These are too stinkin cute!! And the names! Oh the cuteness!
My mom always says “terd of hurtles” too! Funny!
I LOVE those little guys – SO cute. My daughter’s name is Matilda – definitely think I am going to have to make one!!!
Very cute! Love the names.
Love it. It is so cute. Way cuter than my ugly tomato from the craft store.
How can someone be THIS creative…you continually surprise me and your talent is supremely awe inspiring!!! i LOVE these turtles and i love that you are offering your own felt colors. your fabrics are simply gorgeous and can’t wait to see what you come up with next. It makes me proud to be a quilter/sewer when there is such inspiration!!
It’s cute. Does the page with coupons on your store no longer exists? Thank you
These turtles are wonderful! I love turtles and I love pincushions – a match made in heaven – but now I have to decide which one!!!! Oh my!
edna is DIVINE!
My aunt’s name is Edna. She’s going to love these. She’s always sewing various pin cushions and such.
oh! my! gosh! they are soooo sweet.
Heather – next pin cushion NEEDS to be a snail. Please? Purty Please?
Matilda is my daughter’s name! And I’ll have another wee one in about 7 months that I’m trying to convince my husband we should name Penelope! I’ll have to make a few of these turtles now!
Looks like a fun group of gals!
you may have just found my soon to be maybe little girl name … although several of those have already been shushed by the husband … any more ideas?
Oh my gosh, so stinkin’ cute!!! I must get one.. or two 🙂
Oh How Cute they are..
I am in love with Penelope because that is My Name 🙂

Heather these little turtles are adorable. Edna is my favorite! I loooove turtles. Great job.
Your turtles are completely and totally adorable!
That is just the cutest turtle I’ve ever seen and I must make one soon!
I have a question and I hope it is okay to put it here. In the new designer felt section I see rolls of felt all bundled up that look positively like something I want to buy, buy, buy…but when it comes time to order it is individual sheets. Have you considered making bundles? I would much prefer to buy a bundle with prepicked colors.
I love all your brilliance, thanks for sharing so generously with all of us!!!
This is officially the cutest pin cushion I have ever seen!
Oh my goodness how cute are they!!!
They are very cute, far, far too cute to stick pins in. Your dad sound very like mine, obviously prepubescent humour in men is universal!

How are we ever supposed to pick which is cutest? I love them all.
Sooo cute and funny these turtles!

The bundle idea is fantastic. We’ll put together some pre-picked color packs and post them in the store as soon as we can. We’re in the two-week scramble to prepare for Market. Crazy, crazy over here! But fun.
Love this! I will have to make one for my mom. She has several turtles in her backyard and she named them all H names. The original turtles were Henry and Henrietta and she named one of the babies Harriet. 🙂
Absolutely adorable!!
When I was a kid I had a pet chicken named Henrietta. 😉
I love those! I think I’m going to get 3. One for me and one for each of my girls because I know they will steal mine if they don’t have their own.
How fun are those? Love them, super cute!
I love these! I don’t want to make one though, I want to buy one! Is that an option? LMK, Thanks.
oh i have to make Penelope that is my 2 year olds name!
My baby’s name is Matilda too, after my great-grandmother, but Edna’s color combo is my favorite. I will have to order her.
So cute! I think you’ve just inspired a new baby shower theme. I think these would be so perfect as a favor at each place setting! LOVE!
I love enda so bright and colourful do you stock these in Australia, i would love one
